My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After a LONG time of starts and stops. I finally finished this book. Overall it was decent. It was very interesting to read about how a lot of government folks didn't listen to the feedback from the commanders in the field when it came to improvements for the tank.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fun historical read. Very cool to read about the planning of the attack from the Japanese side and how the US missed signs and had miscommunication and assumptions on their side. I really enjoyed it.

Book Review: The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb

The Winter Fortress: The Epic Mission to Sabotage Hitler’s Atomic Bomb by Neal Bascomb

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was an in depth detailed account of how Norwegian (sp?) resistance fighters worked to destroy the Heavy Water plant that Germany had commandeered during World War II. The beginning was a little slow as the author introduced you to all the main players and why they chose to be part of the resistance. Overall it was a good book on one part of WWII that I did not know a lot about. Please note I am using this in the terms of people fighting the Germans that had taken over their country. Some of these folks had fled Norway, Trained in England and then returned to perform the attacks

This one was a lot of fun to read. It provided a lot of different perspectives from the allied perspective on the D-Day invasion. It definitely kept me entertained through out the entire book.
